[City of Glass ] Super Saiyan Sue

She squeezed her eyelids shut and, against the darkness behind them, began to draw withher mind in curving lines of light. Lines that spoke to her of doorways, of being carried onwhirling air, of travel and faraway places. The lines came together in a rune as graceful asa bird in light. She didn’t know if it was a rune that had existed before or one she hadinvented, but it existed now as if it always had.Portal.

She began to draw, the marks leaping out from the stele’s tip in charcoaled black lines.The stone sizzled, lling her nose with the acidic smell of burning. Hot blue light grewagainst her closed eyelids. She felt heat on her face, as if she stood in front of a re. With agasp she lowered her hand, opening her eyes.

The rune she had drawn was a dark tower blossoming on the stone wall. As she watched,the lines of it seemed to melt and change, owing gently down, unfurling, reshapingthemselves. Within moments the shape of the rune had changed. It was now the outline of aglowing doorway, several feet taller than Clary herself.

She couldn’t tear her eyes from the doorway. It shone with the same dark light as thePortal behind the curtain at Madame Dorothea’s. She reached out for it—And recoiled. To use a Portal, she remembered with a sinking feeling, you had to imaginewhere you wanted to go, where you wanted the Portal to take you. But she had never beento Idris. It had been described to her, of course. A place of green valleys, of dark woods andbright water, of lakes and mountains, and Alicante, the city of glass towers. She couldimagine what it might look like, but imagination wasn’t enough, not with this magic. Ifonly …

She took a sudden sharp breath. But she had seen Idris. She’d seen it in a dream, and sheknew, without knowing how she knew, that it had been a true dream. After all, what hadJace said to her in the dream about Simon? That he couldn’t stay because This place is for theliving? And not long after that, Simon had died….

She cast her memory back to the dream. She had been dancing in a ballroom in Alicante.

The walls had been gold and white, with a clear, diamondlike roof overhead. There hadbeen a fountain—a silver dish with a mermaid statue at the center—and lights strung in thetrees outside the windows, and Clary had been wearing green velvet, just as she was now.

What the actual fuck? Seriously, WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.FUCK???!!! No, this is some old bullshit and I’m going to tell you point by point why. First of all, Clary out of nowhere can create portals? Since when? Um, yes she has demon blood, and logically a demon could have created the same portal. However, I have yet to see that in fucking canon. We are currently three books into the original trilogy and have yet to see a Demon actually create a portal. Oh, I have seen Valentine use a portal, but not an actual demon. So far, when it comes to demons and Downworlders, by Cassandra Clare’s own fucking canon only Warlocks got the ability to create portals.

Again, this is why ostensibly, The Lightwoods had Magnus Bane at the Institue anyway. It was surely not because they got over their own prejudice and decided to invite him to tea.

My next problem with this goddamn farce was this once again completely blows that bullshit Jace and Alec (by proxy Clare) tried to peddle in ‘City of Bones’. I clearly remember Jace and Alec protesting loudly that runes are not magic, but this? This completely contradicts that, because portals are created with magic and guess what Clary just created out of the fucking blue.

So inclusion: This is some ole bullshit and the biggest mary sue asspull I have seen to date. I would say that I am surprised, but since this is Cassandra Clare I far from it.
